i highly recommend this documentary. I am presently trying to replace my lost VHS copy with a DVD. I have watched it several times and enjoyed each one. This is a program that can be watched and rewatched. It's also a soothing one to fall asleep to.
The filmmaker/biologist has made several films on the subject of cephalopods. This one is the most revisited. The subject is indeed incredible, but INCREDIBLE SUCKERS is also a well made film - much more interesting film style than anything ken burns has made. This colorful film includes a sequence of still photographs that document the shipwreck in which the film crew lost a large amount of precious film footage.
Cephalopods - octopus, squid, nautilus and cuttle-fish - are extremely novel creatures. This documentary parallels the novelty of those creatures, and presents cephalopods as well as any program I have seen. I especially enjoyed seeing a demonstration in which cuttle fish seemingly flash runic signs with their tentacles in response to a life size television feed of other cuttle fish making their mysterious signs next to the aquarium.
You really don't even have to like wildlife programs to enjoy INCREDIBLE SUCKERS. The subject is just so spectacular, and the film so entertaining, that any viewer of any age should see it. It will only take an hour of your time. It will be a highly saturated and efficient one hour.
